You get a lot of who you are as a musician across through the music you write. If you're writing your own music, then it's important to be really honest.

Quite a lot of the girls I get photographed with are just friends and then, according to the papers, I have, like, 7,000 girlfriends.

You're always going to write and draw inspiration from things that you're feeling, things that you've felt. It's kind of impossible not to unless you're writing a song and there's an exact scenario that you're trying to write a song for.

The important thing is to concentrate upon what you can do - by yourself, upon your own initiative.

You're never going to get used to walking into a room and have people screaming at you. There's a lot of things that come with the life you could get lost in. But you have to let it be what it is. I've learnt not to take everything too seriously.

I find ambition really attractive too - if someone's good at something they love doing. I want someone who is driven.
